I have 2 6509 switches connected using Port channel using 6 GigE inetrfaces. 4 out of 6 interfaces show excessive giants.
I checked the speed and duplex settings and I do not see any mismatch. I included the "show int" output for one of the interfaces below.
Any ideas why this is happening?
interface GigabitEthernet1/24
description port channel 1 to switch 2
no ip address
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
channel-group 1 mode desirable
